Quite the opposite in my area.
Every time it rains here, we have less interesting "visitors".
But a clear night will bring in a variety of nocturnal "friends".

Yeahh!! :-) Yes, we're having lots of 'visitors' sheltering from the rain... Rainy season could last another month or so. Then typhoon season - when some of the bigger, more unusual moths seem to be blown our way.

Hooray, the tiny creatures are back again.
So how long will the rainy season last ?
